Sinidok ta ka Sinapo kita


Dawa aram ko Kahit alam kong
Na lulugadon susugatan lamang
Kan sa imong karagkadag ng uuga-uga mong pag-ikot
An makubal kong kamot. Ang makalyo kong kamay.

Dai akong labot Di ko alintana


Ta kun ako mamomoot giraray, Dahil kong ako’y magmamahal muli,
Ika pa man giraray ikaw pa din naman
An sakong sisidukon. Ang aking sasapuhin.

Ngunyan ngani, Ngayon nga,


Dai ako naghuhuna di ko namalayan,
Na sa pag-igi kan panahon, na sa pagdaan ng panahon,
Ang matarom mong pako ang matalim mong pako
Padagos na nagtitirig ay patuloy na gumigiwang-giwang
Sa sakong palad – sa aking palad -
Tuninong, daing hagubhob, tahimik, walang nangangalit
Magian, papel-papelan. na tunog,
Magaan, parang papel lng.
